Slavery





If someone today is called a slave to fashion it means that they are driven to keep up with the latest fashion trends and they strive to dress in the best clothes that they can. According to The Bible before you were saved you were a slave to lawlessness or living against God's law. The things contrary to God's law looked appealing and those were the things that you sought after. Those were the things that you hungered for.

Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? 

Salvation is a life transforming experience.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

After salvation you should be a slave to righteousness.

Romans 6:19
I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.

So now you should be hungry for righteousness.

Matthew 5:6
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Are you hungry for righteousness? Do you strive to live a life of obedience to God? Do you seek that which is good and acceptable and perfect? Or do you seek to explain away the scriptures that condemn your lifestyle?
